Generally speaking, nervous breakdown can be acute or gradual, starting with depression or neurosis. The first warning sign is the inability to concentrate for very long. The loss of appetite and a general malaise, feeling more tired than usual. chronic stress may be a factor of a nervous breakdown where the person feels they are no longer able to function. agitation is a fairly common factor and emotions either being amplified or numbing down is fairly common as well.

Would you loose your Job because of a nervous break down?

The "AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT" or A.D.A. protects a person's employment due to any disability, including mental illness that causes the person to need to take time off, and be "reasonably accommodated". The onus is on the employee, however, to inform the employer that they have a mental illness or disability that they need accommodations for. They do not, however, have to inform them during the interview process before they are hired. If you suffer a mental illness that happens after you are employed, your employer is required to work WITH you to accommodate your issues. (reduce your work load, work hours, give you different tasks to do that are not as stressful, etc) There are exceptions to this law, but this is a quick synopsis of it. The answer in essence is NO, you SHOULD not lose your job if you have a nervous break down, and if you DO, then you have options for getting it back, as well as a potential lawsuit!
